Accidental Damage Waiver

The majority of our reservations include a $59 non-refundable damage waiver fee in lieu of refundable security deposit. Please read below the conditions that apply to this accidental damage waiver fee.

("You" or "Your" refers to you as listed on the rental agreement or your traveling companions.)

The Damage Waiver Fee does not substitute for your responsibility to leave the property in appropriate condition. The damage waiver fee does not negate your responsibilities as a responsible renter, nor does it relieve you from responsibility for intentionally destructive acts of you or other members of your party while in occupancy.

What is covered:

The Damage Waiver fee covers purely accidental damage caused by you up to $1,000.00 during your scheduled stay to the rented property.

Your Duties in the Event of Accidental Damage:

You must report the loss or damage in writing through e-mail prior to check-out to the owner or staff responsible for managing the accommodation. The property will be inspected after your departure and any damage, theft or other incidents which occur during your occupancy and which have not been reported prior to your departure will remain your obligation.3. You must report damage that needs prompt attention, example: a broken window, immediately in writing and by phone to the owner/operator responsible for managing the accommodation.4. Any accidental damage in excess of $1000 remains your responsibility. Your agreement to this waiver constitutes your acceptance of these terms.

Refundable Security Deposit (if applicable)Guests are responsible for all damages made to the property and its contents during the occupancy period (excluding normal wear and tear). The Refundable Security Deposit (included in the quote for your reservation) is due along with the second rental payment in order to secure your booking. Credit Cards used to guarantee your damage deposit would not be charged in excess of the stated amount unless actual damages occur during your occupancy. The acceptor of this agreement is responsible for all such damages and cleaning charges.

If damages exceed the amount held, the acceptor of this agreement is responsible for paying all fees incurred by such damage. Your acceptance of this document guarantees your agreement to these terms.

The Damage Deposit is NOT applied towards rent. It is fully refundable within 14 business days after your departure, providing the following provisions are met:

* All tenets of the Rental Agreement are adhered to.* No damage is done to the property or its contents, beyond normal wear and tear. * Check Out Procedures are followed.* No excessive cleaning fees are incurred. * No charges are incurred due to contraband, unapproved guests and pets, collection of rents, or extra charges during your stay.* All debris and trash are properly disposed of.* All dishes are washed.* All keys are left in the lock box (if used) and property is left locked. * No linens or towels are lost or damaged.

Damage Deposit will be refunded to the same credit card that was used to make the payment within 14 business days after departure upon confirmation that no damages occurred.

Taxes are subject to change. If the county or state raises taxes, you will have to pay the additional amount before check-in. If they lower taxes, we will refund the difference with your security deposit after your stay. Taxes are generally based on the date you check-in, not when you make your reservation.

Accommodations capacities cannot be exceeded for this property. If maximum occupancy is exceeded, we will ask you to check out immediately and all monies will be forfeited. This includes guests spending the night as well as visitors.
